Hello everyone,
I just joined this forum today and it is great! I am having my first Halloween party this year. There is a twist too it though. It is also my daughter's sweet 16 party. Since her bday falls so close to Halloween, we thought we would combine the two. I am very creative and when I get started I am sure that I will not stop until every inch of the house is covered in something. Several issues that I am dealing with...1. This party will be kids from roughly 14 to 17. I think there are just a couple that are 12 and 13. So I don't want to do the kiddie stuff but at the same time I don't want to scare them silly either. So what is a happy medium on the scare scale for this age range? 2. Money.. I need to work with stuff I have, can make or buy for a very reasonable price. I am a thrift store junkie so I am hoping to find a lot of items there. 3. How can I incorporate the "sweet" 16 and Halloween themes together? 4. As for decorating, when do you start? I am thinking now and just keep adding. The party is on Oct. 23rd. Any ideas will be welcome. I really am starting from scratch here.
Thanks for the help, Caryn
